ATTORNEY EDWARD HUGETZ, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

FOUNTAIN-PEN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 1, 1919. Serial No. 274,419.

To all whom it may concern:

citizen of Austria, residing at New York city, county and-State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Fountain-Pens, of which the ollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in fountain pens, the object being to provide areceptacle that can be applied to a fountain pen barrel arranged to contain smelling.

salts or other substances. To carry my improvement into practice, I provide a sleeve arranged to he slipped over the barrel of afountain pen having one end provided with a chamber and a removable hollow plug for the chamber perforated at its outer end, a cap to inclose said plug being also provided.

My improved device is well adapted for application to the well known telescoping type of fountain pens which are more or less used by ladies. The provision of a receptacle for smelling salts (for instance) renders the pens very useful for ladies, as two articles are combined in one, thatis to say, a fountain pen and a restorative container, smelling salts usually forming part of Womens traveling outfit.

I. will now describe my improvement in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a collapsible fountain pen extended, my "improved attachment being also illustrated;

Fig. 2 is a similar View of the pen collapsed;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the barrel end of the pen, having my improved attachment;

Fig. 4 ,is an enlarged end view of the sleeve portion of my attachment and perforated plug;

Fig. 5 is an enlarged view in elevation of the plug portion of the attachment; and

Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the sleeve portion of my improvement illustrating another means to produce a chamber to contain a salt or other substance.

The form of fountain pen to which I prefer to apply my improvement is, as has been .stated, of the collapsible type' consisting of a barrel 7 to contain ink, a pen' section 8, a cap 9 therefor, and a supplemental barrel portion 10, which is slidably applied to the Be it known that I, EDWARD HUoErZ, a I

which is slidably applied to the supplemental cap 10' and which can be moved longitudinally thereof for extension for use, or collapsed when not in use. The sleeve 11 can of course be extended without extending the supplemental barrel 10 if desirable. The diameter of sleeve 11 will be approximately the diameter of the cap 8; hence when the pen is collapsed, the pen will present a neat appearance. For this reason, I provide the relatively long sleeve 11 which will completely conceal the supplemental barrel 10. The barrel 10 does not contain ink.

To provide a receptacle for a smelling salt, perfume, or other substance, I employ a cup member 12, which is forced into the outer end of the sleeve 11 (see Fig. 3). To this cup I apply a hollow plug 13 which projects beyond the end of the sleeve. The plug 13 will be of a diameter sufficient to produce a relatively snug fit, but not so snug as to prevent the withdrawal of the plug to refill chamber 1 1 produced by the combination of the cup 12 and plug 13. To render the wall of the plug more or less yieldable, I may slot same as at 16 to provide a series of tongues 17 which will be suliiciently yieldable and resilient to insure a good snug fit. To conceal as well as to protect the plug 13, I provide a cap 18 which has a threaded connection with the sleeve 11, as at 19. The closed end of plug 13 is perforated as at 20, as is usual in receptacles for smelling salts or the like.

Instead of providing a cup, such as 13, to produce a chamber, I may provide a plug 21 (see Fig. 6). It will of course be under stood that salts or the like will be placed in chamber 14, but more strictly speaking within the hollow plug 13, as indicated by 22.

Having described my invention, what I claim is The combination of a fountain pen open Patented June 2 1, 1919.

at one end, a cup inserted in the open end of the pen, and a, hollow perforated plug, removably fitting said cup, said cup and plu forming a chamber for a salt or the like, the wall'of the plug being slotted to form yieldable tongues.
